Orchid - Paphiopedilum genus - Edward Marshall Boehm

[Ed Vatza]

Another orchid image from Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, PA. The orchid exhibit just opened on Saturday. This one brings back memories of spring days in search of Ladyslippers.

Again, nicely done, Ed. If you decide you want to clone out those hotter areas, use clone set at 30% and "darken" and go over an area right next to it. Should clean those right up (if you so desire.) I like it as presented as well.

Ed, Your orchid collection is very nice! Like the details and colors!

[Rene Quenneville]

Great composition Ed, Your choice of depth of field is very appropriate. The light portion in the back attracts the eye a lot.

Nicely done Ed,
I like it as presented...the depth of field is good and the colors and textures makes it for me...:cool:
